Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an exercise-based program designed to promote the brain to learn to compensate for the inner ear dysfunction.

VRT can help with a variety of vestibular problems, including Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) and the unilateral or bilateral vestibulopathy (reduced inner ear function on one or both sides) associated with Ménière’s disease, vestibular neuritis and labyrinthitis. It may also benefit individuals with long-term inner ear disorders who have undergone a succession of medical management with little or no success.

As VRT is tailor-made to each individual’s needs and side of lesion, a thorough investigation has to be made before a VRT is designed.
